The City's recycling drop-off points are a service for Mobile residents only, and recyclables from businesses or those residing outside the city limits are not accepted. Citizens are not required to sort their recyclables. When recycling is more convenient and less confusing, more people recycle and people who recycle are less tolerant of litter.
